Why are illegal immigrants who use false Identification not arrested for identity theft?

My Social Security number was stolen and used by an illegal immigrant. When the authorities followed the trail and found the person, they gave them a ticket and told them to show up in immigration court. If I was just accused of identity theft, I'd be going to jail based on the allegation alone. Now I find out that the person will be getting a check for the amount they paid in to Social Security. AMAZING..... It is going to cost me time, effort and money to clear my credit and records of this person.Why are illegal immigrants who use false Identification not arrested for identity theft?
Outrageous... Identify theft should be handled as theft. My 16 years old son, who was attending high school in Texas, had his identity used to borrow $50,000 in California; and I doubt that I could have borrowed that much money at the time. Meantime, my Son's credit is destroyed because his identity was stolen. The penalty should fit the crime. My son could have received time in prison for stealing much less than $50,000...





I believe the identity thieves should be forced to pay for the debt and expenses created by their crime and the financial institutions involved should be investigated and penalized for suspiciously loaning the money...Why are illegal immigrants who use false Identification not arrested for identity theft?
The TV show %26amp; Movie Dragnet didn't tell the truth when they said ';The names have been changed to protect the innocent.'; Is should have been ';The names have been changed to protect the guilty.'; The innocent are rarely protected.
Just another gift from liberal Americans!
Actually, there is a case in front of the court presently which addresses this very issue. There was a law passed which now charges illegal aliens with identity fraud in addition to violating immigration law which when convicted, adds a minimum 2 year prison sentence for the crime of identity theft. The illegal alien charged in this instance, is contending that he used the identity merely to obtain employment not to inflict intention harm by using it to falsely obtain credit and therefore he should not be subject to the identity theft laws. The case has not yet been decided though it looks unlikely that the 20 or so illegal alien defense organizations which have come to his defense are loosing their argument because as you well know, the victim still suffers damages. The unintended consequences of the illegal alien using your identification can impact your income taxes when the IRS discovers you have additional income from a place you never worked. And, of course, as you have discovered, it impacts your social security account. You can search the North County Times (San Diego) archives for the case (it was in the paper last week) to follow the case and to see whether there is a forum from the court to discuss your situation so they become aware of the inconvenience it caused you.
